The ACT's cabinet has split over the issue of funding to the horse racing industry, with the Greens refusing to support an agreement to provide more than $40 million over the next five years.

The territory government's five-year memorandum of understanding with Thoroughbred Park will expire this week but negotiations are under way to continue the agreement for the next five years.
